The concept of Education for All has six main goals:
Firstly it is important to improve the care and education of young children and of course of vulnerable and disadvantaged students.
Furthermore, there's a goal set for 2015 to ensure that all children complete free an compulsory education of adequate quality, especially girls belonging to different ethnical groups.
Thirdly it is important to ensure that the learning needs of young people and adults are met through access to learning and life-skills programs and groups.
To achieve a 50% improvement in levels of adult literacy, vitally for women, and also access to basic and continuing education for all adults by 2015.
More importantly again by 2015 to achieve gender equality in education, again ensuring that girls receive a full and good quality of basic education.
Finally the idea of Education for All is to ensure that learning outcomes are achieved by literate, numerical and vital life-skills.
Today, 75 million children, more than half of them girls, are out of primary school, and 776 million adults are illiterate. Additionally, 226 million adolescents
are not attending secondary school. There remains a dramatic global divide not only in access to education, but also in learning achievement. International learning assessments reveal a major divide between richer and poorer countries. Two-thirds of all children arrive at primary school under-nourished or with a disability that will likely impair their education achievement throughout their lives. Unless urgent action is taken, tentative progress made in the field of education over the last 8 years will be undermined and another generation of children will be condemned to a life of poverty, hard labour and ignorance.
According to J.F. Rischard one in six adults on the earth cannot read or write. He estimates that about 600 million women and 300 million men remain illiterate. 99% of these people are in developing countries. He says that 115 million children between the ages of six and eleven (one in five) are not in school. And to further that point, of all the children that DO attend school, one in four drops out before completing five years of basic education. The quality of education (primary, secondary and university) is not up to standard with the fast-moving world economy. J.F. Rischard has four main points pertaining to education for all;
1. Education is central to the construction of genuinely democratic societies. Even from a moral standpoint, one could argue that education is a kind of universal right because it provides “human capabilities”. Education is essential to reflect, make choices, and steer towards a better life.
2. Education is key to building the sense of global citizenship that global problem-solving requires. It is a major tool for developing a sense of shared global values that may help spare the next generations unnecessary, obsolete tensions between civilizations.
3. Education is one of the most powerful instruments for reducing poverty and inequality and for laying the basis for sustainable growth. 4. The new world economy, with its knowledge intensity, requires a leap forward in each country’s education effort-from primary to higher education, and even to lifelong learning and the accreditation of competencies.
